Caveat:  Customers have reported that the Delta Download, even when done every month
 misses some numbers.  So we suggest using the Full Download every 30 days to be on the safe side.

Although you can use either one, Flat Text File is preferred,
as it is smaller and simpler in format.

2. Download the file in to your C:\CallNot\Data folder

    Save it in to the C:\CALLNOT\DATA folder
    This is the same folder where the DataDemo.Zip file is.
    It will have a name, such as  Global_17_9_2003_3LJ629133ZTlyRiK3PtAXg==.Zip
        or if it is partial change download
    http://download.donotcall.gov/Delta/ewFh82mDB$3A$rNgTiIjQ==.zip

    Who knows why the FTC names the files this way.  Some sort of code we guess.

    Make sure you have at least 1 Gigabyte of free space available on your hard disk, as it is a big file, and getting larger.

    The downloading process may take about 5 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection.
